Hi Rafael,
       Thanks for comments! It would be great if we could kill the 
hotplug_devices
list so thing gets simple. But there are still some special cases:(

As you have mentioned,  ds->hp_lock is used to make both addition and 
removal
of hotplug devices wait for us to complete walking ds->hotplug_devices.
So it acts as two roles:
1) protect the hotplug_devices list,
2) serialize unregister_hotplug_dock_device() and 
hotplug_dock_devices() so
the dock driver doesn't access registered handler and associated data 
structure
once returing from unregister_hotplug_dock_device().

If we simply use a flag to mark presence of registered callback, we 
can't achieve
the second goal. Take the sony laptop as an example. It has several PCI 
hotplug
slot associated with the dock station:
[   28.829316] acpiphp_glue: _handle_hotplug_event_func: Bus check 
notify on \_SB_.PCI0.RP07.LPMB
[   30.174964] acpiphp_glue: _handle_hotplug_event_func: Bus check 
notify on \_SB_.PCI0.RP07.LPMB.LPM0
[   30.174973] acpiphp_glue: _handle_hotplug_event_func: Bus check 
notify on \_SB_.PCI0.RP07.LPMB.LPM1
[   30.174979] acpiphp_glue: _handle_hotplug_event_func: Bus check 
notify on \_SB_.PCI0.RP07.LPMB.LPM2
[   30.174985] acpiphp_glue: _handle_hotplug_event_func: Bus check 
notify on \_SB_.PCI0.RP07.LPMB.LPM2.LPRI.LPR0.GFXA
[   30.175020] acpiphp_glue: _handle_hotplug_event_func: Bus check 
notify on \_SB_.PCI0.RP07.LPMB.LPM2.LPRI.LPR0.GHDA
[   30.175040] acpiphp_glue: _handle_hotplug_event_func: Bus check 
notify on \_SB_.PCI0.RP07.LPMB.LPM2.LPRI.LPR1.LPCI.LPC0.DLAN
[   30.175050] acpiphp_glue: _handle_hotplug_event_func: Bus check 
notify on \_SB_.PCI0.RP07.LPMB.LPM2.LPRI.LPR1.LPCI.LPC1.DODD
[   30.175060] acpiphp_glue: _handle_hotplug_event_func: Bus check 
notify on \_SB_.PCI0.RP07.LPMB.LPM2.LPRI.LPR1.LPCI.LPC2.DUSB

So it still has some race windows if we undock the station while 
repeatedly rescanning/removing
the PCI bus for \_SB_.PCI0.RP07.LPMB.LPM0 through sysfs interfaces. For 
example, thread 1 is
handling undocking event, walking the dependent device list and 
invoking registered callback
handler with associated data. While that, thread 2 may step in to 
unregister the callback for
 \_SB_.PCI0.RP07.LPMB.LPM0. Then thread 1 may cause access-after-free 
issue.

The klist patch solves this issue by adding a "put" callback method to 
explicitly notify
dock client that the dock core has done with previously registered 
handler and associated
data.
